Guided, hands-on course teaching architects how to use Codex or Claude Code — six short modules, each built around an exercise on a bundled sandbox project (a fictional Brooklyn art museum expansion). Resumable across sessions via PROGRESS.md. Use when the user runs $learn or /as:learn, says they're new to AI-assisted project work, or asks how to learn it.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Learn — Codex and Claude Code for Architects

Before acting, read the [host contract](../../docs/host-harness-contract.md) and this component's [declaration](host-contract.json) (`skill:learn`). Load only its referenced mode profiles from the [shared catalog](../../corpus/host-contracts.json). Compose modes required by the actual task; declarations are requirements, not proof of access or permission. Use the actual host’s [delivery route](../../docs/host-adapters.md).

## Harness-native course and file custody

This MCP workflow uses the host's available authorized tools; it requires no Arch Studio executable or installation. This complete procedure owns the practice progress and exercise outputs with `operations: []`; these are course files, not Arch Studio project-register operations. Resolve exact practice paths and read the actual learner state before each action. Do not initialize a real studio or project to teach the sandbox.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add alpacalabsllc/skills-for-architects/learn@sha256:a39bfa1f96f54b50

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260924.fefebac, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
